[Klug-general] OT: I am going to be "Art"!

[Margot]

Most of you will have heard of the artist Antony Gormley, and I'm 
sure that many will be aware of his latest project "One and Other" - 
for 100 days starting today (6 July 2009), 24 hours a day, real live 
people will be occupying the fourth plinth for an hour each in 
London's Trafalgar Square.

I am one of the lucky 2,400 people chosen out of over 14,000 
applicants - my hour is 2pm to 3pm on Sunday 26 July.

Many of the One and Other participants are travelling long distances 
to attend the event, and are having to ask for sponsorship to pay 
the cost of their travel & accommodation. I live in Kent so I don't 
need a hotel, and I can afford my own train fare, so I'm asking for 
sponsorship payments to go to one of my favourite charities instead 
- Invest in ME, which is dedicated to raising awareness of the 
urgent need for biomedical research into ME.

All donations are welcome! Here's the link to my fundraising page:

And if you happen to be in London on 26 July (KLUG outing?), please 
come along & wave!
